Going to suggest Ruth Wilson now. More famous than Jodie, not above doing sci-fi on the BBC, interesting and good actor.

Going forward, I am never not going to be confusing Ruth Wilson and Ruth Jones, so I really had to think about this one for a minute.

Isn't this where... ...we came in? :-)

(From the top of page 2 of the first-ever new-Who thread!!)

(Yeah, but I suggested Grant afresh, I'm aware he's been in the frame before, silly! ;-)

If they're going to pick a woman who has already appeared in Who then it should be Rachael Stirling.

Or Anna Maxwell Martin.

Actually, I think RTD should go full‐on and play the Doctor himself.

I know!  I just thought it was amusing that 17 years on he's still getting mentioned!

He's going to let Gatiss have that honour.

Surely this is the project that can get Joe Don Baker out of retirement.

Go different species, really shake things up. You can train dogs to do stuff, "What's that Doctor? A Dalek has fallen down the well?"

Give it to Sean Pertwee, playing it in the style of Alfred from Gotham.

I know he doesn't want to, but tough. It's his role.

A friend says there's "A credible memo" going around suggesting it'll be Lydia West, but after a brief search the only thing I've found is that someone on Gallifrey Base claims to have seen a leaked email, so it's probably just pure speculation.

I reckon you're on to something here, and 2013's A Talking Cat shows we have the technology to make realistic animal mouth movement. https://youtu.be/Y-h-KpG2tHM?t=57

Why not just give it to Ian Botham in the style of a blacked-up Patrick Troughton.  Seems like the most natural route of least resistance.

Quote from: Mister Six on September 28, 2021, 03:18:04 PMColin Baker, Lalla Ward, Capaldi and Gillan had all previously been in Who (and spin-offs, in Capaldi's case) before their turns as The Doctor or a companion, of course.

Don't know if it counts, but Lydia West has done a Big Finish. I think it was one of the ones without the Doctor in it, though.

I must say I am VERY against the idea of Olly Alexander being the Doctor, unfortunately this is due to my prejudice against people named Olly

There's an otherwise quite listenable YouTuber who keeps obstinately posting rumours under the banner "leaks".  He even starts these videos with a little response to people who tell him he should label them as "rumours" - "I have always called them 'leaks' and people will be confused if I change it now" or words to that effect.

Deeply annoying clickbait malarkey.  Wish he'd stop.

How about a follow up to "The Doctor's Wife" with Olly Alexander as the TARDIS.  It would work especially well if the Doctor is a lady at the time.

I had a leak at the BBC once!! (went for a wee there) (in my pants) (while laughing in the audience for a recording of Alan Carr's Celebrity Ding Dong)

And did the title of the show fully prepare you for the microphone in the toilet?

I think they should go full-on meta and have the Doctor play the Doctor.

I'm sure Chibnall already has that sorted for the BBC centenary thing

If DWM celebrate RTD's return with the headline 'change, my dear - and it seems not a moment too soon' I might just shell out for a copy.

Now, I know this might sound a bit mental but I think it would be interesting if they can pull it off: Billy Piper?

Oooh, Kathryn Hahn

I still don't think a non-UK Doctor is right. It's the closest I get to patriotism.

Gillian Anderson is about 50% British. That's as far as I'll go

I just remembered that RTD episode of DW where that fella ended up having oral sex with a paving slab.
Amazing to have him back on board again.
